Alex Telles Salutes Ronaldo and 1 Al Nassr Star for Allowing Him Score Messi esque Free kick

• Alex Telles appreciated his teammates in the wake of his first goal in the Saudi Pro League
• The Brazilian scored a stunning freekick to help Al-Nassr seal a 3-1 victory against Al Wehda
• Telles would hope to continue on the same tangent after the November international break

Al-Nassr left-back Alex Telles expressed gratitude after scoring his inaugural goal in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday night.

In a resounding victory against Al Wehda at King Abdul Aziz Stadium, the former Manchester United defender delivered a sensational free-kick to make his mark in the Saudi top flight.

Despite not being the designated first-choice free-kick taker, Telles surprised everyone by opting to take the set piece himself, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca, who typically handle such situations for Luis Castro's team.

Both Ronaldo and Talisca willingly stepped aside, allowing the Brazilian left-back to take the shot, and their unconventional decision yielded spectacular results.

Telles, 30, executed a perfectly struck free-kick that swiftly found the back of the net, breaking the deadlock for Al-Nassr, as noted by Fan Nation.

His goal inspired his team, leading to additional strikes by Abdulelah Al Amri and Ronaldo.

Despite a consolation goal by experienced Brazilian midfielder Anselmo Anselmo, it proved inconsequential as Al-Nassr held firm to secure a decisive victory and claim all three points at stake.

Telles thanks Ronaldo, Talisca

Post-match, Telles, who was once teammates with Ronaldo at Manchester United, extended his heartfelt gratitude to CR7 and his compatriot Talisca for their roles in his maiden goal in the SPL.

“I thank Talisca and Ronaldo for giving me the opportunity to shoot the free kick,” he said, as quoted by The Nassr Zone.
